Ross County will take on league leaders Celtic at the Global Energy Stadium on Saturday, who are tenth on the Scottish Premier League table. With 25 problems, they are just two numbers from Saint-Mirren in sixth place, while Celtic have a 16-point advantage over the second-rangers.
Staggies have found the way after a difficult streak of 4 consecutive losses, remaining undefeated in their last 4 games. His 1-0 victory over Kilmarnock last week was an intelligent start around 2025, increasing trust while preparing for the league leaders.
Celtic, fresh from a 2-0 win against Dundee United, are determined to maintain their dominance despite a 3-0 defeat against Rangers earlier this year. With two consecutive victories, the Bhoys will try to continue their progress at the top of the table and increase their merit over their rivals.

Here’s how this was in the United States:
Ross County will be without Alex Samuel, Elijah Campbell, and Ross Laidlaw, all of whom are expected to return by mid-to-late January.
In addition, Ryan Leak is out until early March, while Will Nightingale will miss the game due to injury, with a possible return in mid-January.
Ross County predicted XI (3-5-1-1, right to left): Amissah (GK) — Wright, Lopata, Randall — Brown, Nisbet, Kenneh, Grieves, Harmon — Chilvers — White.
Wounded: Samuel, Campbell, Laidlaw, Flight, Nightingalesusped:
For Celtic, James Forrest is absent as he continues to recover from injury. Nicolas Kuhn has been withdrawn from the warm opposite to Dundee United and remains a doubt for the Dingwall holiday. Thiago Holm is still absent.
Hyunjun Yang replaced him last time, however, Luke McCowan and Luis Palma may also be characteristics for Brendan Rodgers if he makes the decision to rotate his team.
Predicted XI via Celtic (4-3-3 left): Schmeichel (GK) -Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor-Engels, McGregor, Hatate-Kühn, Furuhashi, Maeda.
Injured: Forrest, Kuhn (doubt), Thiago Holm Suspended:
This match is between the teams sitting at the opposite end of the spectrum. Ross County will be playing at home but the Bhoys are gunning for that title, it’d be hard to stop them.
Prediction: Ross County 1-2 Celtic
